Egyptian TV host Youssef Al-Husseini said in a December 4, 2022 show on Channel 1 (Egypt) that "something" has always "annoyed" him about the British. He said that the British people claim to support human rights and to behave in a fair and non-racist manner, but that this is just a façade. He also said that people from "occupied Northern Ireland" are not permitted to demand their independence from Britain on the streets of London.

"Show me just one person from occupied Northern Ireland who can walk the streets of London and demand independence for Ireland. Show me just one such person. Not two, not three. Just one. Whatever any British government claims... By the way, in Britain, the Conservative Party is not different at all from the Labor Party. Don't think that the British Labor Party is a leftist party. That's a real joke. Forget all about this. Show me just one such person. Are you telling me that Britain is talking about human rights? What a disgrace!"
